Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: This essay is concerned with the question of how the current drug problem in UK prisons can be understood in the light of the current effectiveness of the existing policies and punishments. This report, therefore, focuses on three main aspects of the issue. Firstly, the author looks at the theoretical background of the existing punishments for criminal offenses such as drug smuggling or trade. Secondly, the author explores the extent of the current situation in the UK prison. That is, the author examines what makes it easier for prisoners in England and Wales to purchase funds, where do they get funds and existence of policy failures. Finally, the author suggests effective ways of addressing the issue of drug use in UK prisons.

Based on the experience of many countries in the WHO European Region and the advice of experts, this guide outlines some of the steps prison systems should take to reduce the public health risks from compulsory detention in often unhealthy situations, to care for prisoners in need and to promote the health of prisoners and prison staff. This requires that everyone working in prisons understand how imprisonment affects health, what prisoners' health needs are, and how evidence-based health services can be provided for everyone needing treatment, care and prevention in prison. Other essential elements are being aware of and accepting internationally recommended standards for prison health; providing professional care with the same adherence to professional ethics as in other health services; and, while seeing individual needs as the central feature of the care provided, promoting a whole-prison approach to care and promoting the health and well-being of people in custody.

In this fascinating new work, Karen Duke explores the conflicts and contradictory pressures in the development of prison drugs policy in Britain from 1980 to the present. Based on interviews with key policy actors and documentary analysis, it explores how policy networks around drug issues in prisons have attempted to contain the contradictions between treatment and punishment and how their activities have been shaped by the ways in which the drugs issue is framed, the roles of research, evidence and knowledge, and the impact of wider social, political, policy and institutional contexts.

The network of services that deliver justice - the police, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the courts, prisons, and probation and Youth Offending Teams - is complex and often hard for the public to understand. If people are to have confidence that justice is effective and is being administered in their interests, then the delivery of justice needs to be more transparent, more responsive and more accountable. The review by Louise Casey, "Engaging communities in fighting crime" (http://cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/cabinetoffice/corp/assets/publications/crime/cc_full_report.pdf) found that, for all the progress that has been made, the system can still feel too remote from people's everyday lives and the justice it delivers remain not visible enough. The overwhelming majority of the findings of the Casey Review have been accepted and many major changes to the system have already been made in response. This green paper sets out the Government's proposals for further improvements, with the aim of creating a criminal justice service that is effective, delivers justice for all, has the interests of victims and witnesses at its heart and which inspires the trust and confidence of the people it serves. The document is built around four primary aims, which are critical components of the change being sought: achieving stronger, community focused partnerships; building on the success of community justice projects and the problem-solving approach to enhance the visibility of the CJS; increasing the intensity and visibility of Community Payback; and keeping the public better informed.

Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.

'A Quiet Revolution: Drug Decriminalisation Policies in Practice Across the Globe' is the first report to support Release's campaign 'Drugs - It's Time for Better Laws'. This report looks at over 20 countries that have adopted some form of decriminalisation of drug possession, including some States that have only decriminalised cannabis possession. The main aim of the report was to look at the existing research to establish whether the adoption of a decriminalised policy led to significant increases in drug use - the simple answer is that it did not. This then begs the question that if the model of enforcement adopted has little impact on levels of use what is the point in pursuing a criminal justice approach which carries significant harms for individuals?
